I’m doing a final gallop of my debut comedy hour ‘How To Juggle A Ferret’ at @abercomedyfest.bsky.social tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:45pm if you and/ or your fleas fancy it.
A picture of me with a ferret teddy on my shoulder. The text is handwritten and scribble and it reads “HOW TO JUGGLE A FERRET @ Aberystwyth Comedy Festival. Last showing.”A picture with lots of photos of my hand holding the ferret teddy again, all in a circle with the arms reaching in with the ferret teddies from the edges. The text reads “SUNDAY 4th OCTOBER. 1:45pm. ABERYSTWYTH ARTS CENTRE.”A photo of the ferret teddy’s bum. The text reads: 

“THE GUARDIAN'S TOP 10 FUNNIEST JOKES FROM THE EDINBURGH FRINGE
2026. 

JOKE of THE FRINGE FINALIST @ THE ISH* EDINBURGH COMEDY AWARDS. 

THE TELEGRAPH'S FUNNIEST JOKES OF THE EDINBURGH FRINGE 2026. 

THE LONDON ARTS FACILITATION SOCIETY'S BANNERET AWARD NOMINEE.”Picture of the ferret teddy’s face popping in. The text reads:

"ENDEARINGLY DAFT"
- The Scotsman

"WARMTH, UNPREDICTABILITY, AND LIGHTNING FAST RESPONSES"
- Five Stars Pending

"THERE'S A LOT TO LIKE ABOUT
'HOW TO JUGGLE A FERRET' WHICH MAKES THIS AN ENJOYABLE HOUR AND A PROMISING DEBUT”
- Broadway Baby

"LOTS of JOKES (ONE OF WHICH IS MY FAVOURITE OF THE FRINGE SO FAR) AND SOME REAL HEART TOO"

101 Dalmations is so unrealistic, like where’s all the dog poo???

“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.

Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.

Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.

Had a lovely time Unspeakable-ing on Radio 4. It's available to listen to on BBC Sounds right now or you can listen to it on Radio 4 on Sunday at 12:30. 📻🦡
Post with info about the episode of Unspeakable I was on.

The episode details are:
Episode 4, Series 4
Should You Help a Pigeon?
Radio 4 • 21 Sep 2026 • 28 mins
Available for over a year


In this episode we hear Jon Culshaw's word for the the passage of autumn into winter, Mark Steel's description for unnecessary announcements, and Anna Thomas's invention for when your feelings of empathy for someone or something actually lands you in trouble.
There's also a photo of the Unspeakable logo (?) or title slate (?) thing, not sure what to call it, but it shows the show's hosts Phil Wang and Susie Dent stood back to back in front of a book shelve. Above them is the BBC logo and in front of them is the show title 'Unspeakable'

I came up with some more inane bullshit for everyone to argue about!
(September 23, 2026 at 10:44am)
Fake opinions to argue over…
- Never turn left on a first date.
- Every kindergarten student should have an unpaid internship.
- The periodic table is too sexual.
- Bigfoot should be allowed to vote.
- Having a dream is the same as reading a book.
- You can wear a crop top to a funeral if the deceased person was hot when they died.

Pencil on paper. A man in a sweater leans out of his apartment window with his hand on his heart and yells out for everyone to hear, “There’s music in my heart again.” A woman leans out from her window a floor below him and says, “Sing us a song, sweater boy.” Artist’s note: I was emerging from a long stretch of moodiness when I made this one. For a moment, I was sweater boy.

Had SUCH a great time performing at the Edinburgh Fringe this year but now questioning my decision to add the extra six weeks onto the run. Still, would be thrilled to see you every night 11.45pm at the Gogar Jokehouse (previously PWYW now I pay you £5 as the show is getting worse)

Three panel comic. Panel 1: three friends sit around a table. The guy in the middle looks downtrodden and his friends are trying to comfort him. The friend to the left says, “look man— I know you’re sad about the breakup.” Panel 2: “So I invited the Bongo Dolphin.” Entering stage right is a dolphin standing upright, wearing a straw hat, sunglasses, a Cuba Vera patterned shirt, and is playing the bongos. Panel 3: the sad friend is coyly looking away trying to hide a smile. His two friends and the Bongo Dolphin are smiling with him. The friend on the left says, “I see a smile…”

Listen up, I deleted this piece earlier because it doesn't ring true in my heart. Our boy wouldn't lie about the cha-cha. He rolled his ankle doing the cha-cha. That's what happened and there's no reason to hide it. No more lies.
A balding man sits on a doctor’s table with an injured ankle. The doctor asks him how he hurt his ankle and the man recalls a memory of him twisting his ankle while performing the cha-cha for his cat. He lies to the doctor and says he was jogging. I don’t like this comic.

Grainy black-and-white photo of a long-haired ginger, tabby, tuxedo cat and a long-haired ginger kitten on top of a large box TV set. The kitten is sitting up and the cat is lying down with its fluff draped over the edge of the TV set. They both look expectantly at the viewer.

KNEEL BEFORE TOPSEY. Postcard from my collection, 1907.
Black and white photo of a very fluffy longhaired grey kitten, sitting up looking so perfectly chonky and friendly. The name Topsey is written beneath the photo, and “Copyright 1907 by H.I. Robbins”. A bow has been painted onto the image to make appear as if Topsey is wearing a ribbon that ties in front.
